    About this ebook

    No Work Environment is Perfect

    Every work place is made up of people, and people are less than perfect.  You cannot make people change. However, by changing how you communicate with them, you can change how they treat you in return. 

    By understanding your boss' personality (there are three to choose from) you can adapt how you communicate with them and help them to appear to have better "people skills."  You will also have a much more peaceful place to work.

      SUMMARY

      CHAPTER 1:  HOW DID YOUR BOSS COME TO BE A SUPERVISOR?

      A Story About Ruth’s Promotion to Supervisor

      Ruth’s museum receptionist job was not real taxing, so she was studying astronomy and the operation of the museum’s planetarium.  The part-time person, called a demonstrator, who was nominally in charge of the planetarium often seemed to get complaints from the general public.  Normally, the complaints were that the demonstrator got so busy talking about planets that they never showed the stars. 

      One day Ruth’s boss got so upset at the head of the planetarium that she told him he was no longer in charge.  She called Ruth and told her that Ruth was now in charge of the planetarium.  Ruth suddenly had a program to run, with 7 part-time employees.

      Ruth was not worried.  She knew that she would be a great supervisor.  With a smile on her face she began her first meeting with her staff.  Her thoughts were focused upon her apparent prestige.

      A Story About Angie’s Promotion to Supervisor

      Angie had always worked in her family’s bookstore.  To her, being in the store and helping out was just like helping to cook at home.  It was part of what the family did.  When Angie had all of the schooling that she wanted, it just seemed natural that she would work in the bookstore full-time.  She didn’t mind the work, and she liked the customers and the books.  After about ten years, Angie’s Mother decided that she would like to retire and do some traveling.  Her mother began by working fewer hours and, after a year; her mother was not working at all.  For a while things went well, because Angie’s mother was still stopping in occasionally.  During those visits her mother would talk to the various staff members, and solve any problems that there might
